It is with great pleasure that I write to you to express my sincere appreciation and adoration for a superior job your company did in securing our factories during our recent labor strike. Your entire staff is to be commended for excellent service and professionalism.

Our labor union voted on the morning of Saturday, March 10th, 2018 to go out on a labor strike. At that time we didn’t know where to turn for security of our two factories located in Hamden, CT. So after making several calls around the area seeking security, we spoke with you. Having accessed our situations during that phone call you immediately advised us of what was needed to insure an uneventful strike at both locations. On Monday morning, March 12th, 2018, as discussed and agreed, you had in place five (5) unarmed guards for 24 hours security, 3 for our Welton Street location and 2 for our Leeder Hill Road location. Your guards were in place before the strikers arrived and they were always present, 24/7, and in complete control throughout the three weeks strike. Every situation was handled in a very professional manner and their present made everyone feel very safe as the office staff and others entered and exited the property.

Your company delivered perfect security with a level of quality that you don’t often fine in many security agencies, cleaned uniformed, articulate, and very selfcontrolled guards. Your lead staff member on the property, Mike C. kept me apprised of the strikers every move.

It was a joy having worked with you all. Be assured, if Porcelen/Specrail is need of security, EMEK will be our first and only call.

The American rapper and entrepreneur recently made an appearance on April 21st at the Vanity nightclub in New Haven, alongside his reliable bodyguard team from Emek Security. He founded the record label Maybach Music Group in 2009, and was the first artist that was signed to P. Diddy’s management company known as Ciroc Entertainment. In 2012, he was named the hottest MC by MTV.

Cecile Richards, the American pro-choice activist, was recently in CT speaking at an event. She served as the President of both the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She has led national campaigns for women’s health and reproductive rights, and is a respected leader. The Emek Security team guarded her while she spoke for her event, ensuring her the safety of Cecile and the crowd.

Emek security recently had a job for John Grisham, who is a bestselling author, politician and attorney. His legal thrillers have sold over 275 million copies worldwide, and have even turned into successful movies like The Pelican Brief and The Firm. John Grisham is known for delivering political thrillers that often become New York Times Best Sellers. The Emek security team were the bodyguards for John Grisham for his book tour celebrating his first book made 25 years ago!

The evening of April 5th Emek Security had the pleasure of providing security for Chelsea Clinton the daughter of President Bill Clinton and 2016 Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton. Chelsea was in Connecticut to promote her new book “It’s Your World”. The book signing was held at RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison, Connecticut.

Emek Security and Workforce Training Initiative are teaming up to offer efficient on-the-job training in the security services industry. EMEK Security is providing internships available to the members of the community for security officer training. Beyond training, EMEK Security and Workforce Training Initiative are providing job opportunities through engaging with and involving the local community.

EMEK Security provides hands-on job training in areas from mall security to work patrolling in order to give young people experience in various security training jobs. This training includes EMEK’s de-escalation techniques, teaching them how to speak with the public first over physical intervention. This community-focused approach to both security services and training is a unique offering in Connecticut, pioneered by Bill Okwuosa, owner of EMEK Security. Mr. Okwuosa’s professional background and education in mental health counseling brings a singular and valuable perspective to the security training partnership with Workforce Training Initiative. Mr. Okwuosa says “EMEK’s techniques for de-escalation, particularly how to speak with the public as a preferred response to physical intervention, provide these interns with skills that will make them highly sought after in the security field, particularly for educational and religious institutions and places of business.”

Together, EMEK and Workforce Training are helping to transition people from the program into full-time security officer jobs. They work in small class sizes where there is less competition, and teamwork is more encouraged and managed. They simulate a classroom like small security company – each company has about 10 to 15 guards at each time. With this on-the-job style training students are able to learn security tactics including crowd control communications (particularly with family groups), crisis intervention if necessary, and use of de-escalation tactics and training.

Trainees look forward to finding permanent positions with either EMEK Security or other security companies in the surrounding area. Students also have the potential to transition to postsecondary education such as a criminal justice program in college. Nearly 70% of the students are placed with permanent jobs after on-the-job security training and many others go on to further their education. Many students with a negative history have been able to turn their lives around and get well-paying jobs.

EMEK Security and Workforce Training Initiative hope to make students competitive in the workforce after job training. Small classrooms, planned to accommodate 30 students over the next 12 months, allow for the instructor to know everyone’s background and impart their experience in a more personal setting. Mr. Okwuosa is looking to provide services for steady growth that will be taking place in the security industry over the next few years. His focus on helping the community and enabling citizens to avoid the pitfalls of negative choices has been his primary motivation in launching EMEK Security. “It takes community support to make a better community,” says Mr. Okwuosa, “for those not actually seeking training that want to help support this, recommend small security companies like EMEK to provide security services so that there is a steady growth in employment opportunities.” Bill hopes to see students gain employment with school systems due to his training with an emphasis on de-escalation, and earn security a better name than its primary associations with the physical force aspects of security.

Director of Workforce Training Initiative, Donnell Hilton, speaks highly of the potential for the partnership, saying that EMEK Security has “boosted the amount of training and skills for the students and given them the tools necessary to be competitive in the workforce.”

Commencement ceremony on Sunday and Monday where my security services were utilized for bag checking to ensure that bags over 12×12 are not allowed in the main campus.

Emek provided excellent security services with 10 well trained security officers trained by Emek training school. Staff were assigned at each gate entrance with specific instructions to follow, while preventing luggage and unwanted bags in the main event arena.

Emek Security LLC provided security services for the Yale-Harvard game on November 18, 2015. We responded to the increased security measures for the big game, for the safety and comfort of the fans.

A staple to New Haven, the Yale Bowl is a large football stadium which holds over 60,000 people. As all of the seats were sold out this year, there were also many people on the Yale grounds at the traditional Yale tailgate. Previous Yale football games did not sell as many tickets as this years game. The tickets sold out quickly and the crowd was much larger this year.
